Accessibility Statement
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Shield Bearer Counseling Centers is committed to providing a website experience that is accessible to as many people as possible, including individuals with disabilities. We work to improve usability and accessibility to support access to information, resources, and next steps for care.
Our Accessibility Goal
Our goal is to follow widely recognized accessibility best practices, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), to the extent reasonably feasible for our organization.
Accessibility Features
We aim to support accessibility through practices such as:
- Clear headings and consistent page structure
- Readable typography and adequate color contrast where possible
- Keyboard navigability for key site functions
- Alternative text for meaningful images when available
- Responsive layouts for mobile, tablet, and desktop devices
- Descriptive link text to clarify where links will take you
Third Party Platforms
Some actions on our website may link to third party platforms or embedded tools (for example, event registration, donations, or our online store). These third party services are governed by their own accessibility practices. Shield Bearer Counseling Centers does not control those platforms but we try to select reputable providers and use their tools in a clear and user friendly way.
Limitations
While we strive to make this website accessible, some content may not yet fully meet every accessibility standard. We are continually working to improve accessibility as we update content and features.
